Martial World's
Ch 2211 - Emperor of Souls Appears
…
…
…
As Sheng Mei's footsteps came to a halt, the voice disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.
However, Sheng Mei knew that this could not be an illusion.
He closed his eyes, silently sensing the origin of the voice. After a moment of silence, the summoning call appeared once again. It was still weak, but this time, Sheng Mei could feel sharply from which direction it came from.
With some anticipation, with a hint of uneasiness, with a hint of fear, Sheng Mei silently walked forward.
He passed through the grave and finally arrived above the vast ice field.
The cold energy was rich above this ice field, and the snow billowed in the wind.
This cold energy came from the power of Laws, and Sheng Mei felt that these Laws were somewhat familiar. This was because he was also cultivating the Ice Laws, and his Laws seemed to be intertwined in many places with the Laws in the Asura forbidden land, as if they were from the same origin.
Sheng Mei remained pensive. Then, on top of this ice field, he saw a gigantic crack, an ice valley. And under this gap great waves rolled and fell; this was a river of ice.
Although the river water did not freeze, the freezing cold in the air was many times colder than the frost in the mortal world.
However, Sheng Mei was someone who cultivated the Ice Laws to the extreme. In such an environment, not only did he not think it was too cold, but he actually felt somewhat at ease.
He walked in this ice crack for a long time. Then, at the end of this gap he could see the smooth, ice-like surface of the giant mirror.
This ice mirror soared into the clouds. The light blue surface faced Sheng Mei, reflecting the entire world on it.
It seemed that inside this cold ice, there was another world.
Sheng Mei understood that this large chunk of ice was the Cold Ice Mirror mentioned by Lin Ming!
And it seemed like a lump of soul left from his past life was inside the Cold Ice Mirror.
Sheng Mei used a long time to walk slowly in front of the Cold Ice Mirror. As he looked into it, he saw wind and ice covering everything.
“Is it here..”
Sheng Mei gently thought hard as she stood in front of the Cold Ice Mirror for a long time.
His only answer was silence.
Sheng Mei patiently waited for several dozen breaths of time. Then, on the surface of the Cold Ice Mirror, ripples of light suddenly appeared.
A soft and deep voice, which had been asleep for billions of years unknown, suddenly woke up and echoed in Sheng Mei's ears –
“My son, you're coming..”
Sheng Mei's heart trembled!
This voice was a faint call that called out to him. Feeling it close, there was an inexplicable kindness and familiarity, as if it was coming from somewhere in the deepest part of his soul. This kind of feeling was completely unlike his past life.
“You are ...” Sound Sheng Mei vibrate.
“I am your last mother..”.
Mammy?
Sheng Mei trembled, like being struck by lightning. Whether it was father or mother, this was a very distant matter for Sheng Mei. Even when he was in the Demon God Tomb where he experienced the memories of his past life, he rarely had any memories of his parents. In his childhood, what he knew was struggle, misery, slaughter!
There is probably only one reason for this. It was because when he was a child, he rarely had contact with his father and mother.
But today, the mother of Sheng Mei's past life has appeared. This was a bloodline connection, a fellowship that caused his soul to beat. Unknowingly, her tears fell.
His mother was actually in the forbidden land of Asura…
Sheng Mei could sense that her mother had died; all that was left was a wisp of her soul left.
Sheng Mei knelt down and silently bowed.
Originally, Sheng Mei had taken the pinnacle of martial arts as a goal she would pursue her entire life. He never looked for his own parents but he didn't think he had a father or a mother.
In fact, to Sheng Mei back then, kinship, family, those ideals were just clouds floating in her eyes. Moreover, he never had any family so he never knew what it was like; he didn't even have any friends. The people he recognized were only people from the same sect or race, as well as Soul Emperors who gave orders to him.
But as time went on, Sheng Mei's character underwent a subtle change. This was especially true when she gave birth to Jiu’er. It was then that she first realized what it was like to have someone else in her life whose life she valued more than herself…
At that time he understood the importance of family. But, when he finally realized this meaning, he discovered that his father and mother had perished and all that was left of them was their remaining souls.
The soft voice echoed in Sheng Mei's ears once again. Sheng Mei bowed again before standing up and stepping into the world of the Cold Ice Mirror.
In this world, he could slowly sense the existence of his mother. This was a light feeling of mixed bloodline flowing through all directions of the Cold Ice Mirror world.
He suddenly understood what this was. “Mother ...your remaining soul is the artifact spirit of the Cold Ice Mirror?”
“Ya... this is a spirit treasure enhanced by Asura. I'm used to being here.”.
This soft voice was continuously weak and faint. Sheng Mei realized that her mother's remaining spirit would not be like the one in the Emperor Bone Sea, remaining in an eternal state. There will be a day when her mother's remnant soul will become so weak that it will eventually disappear into nothingness.
This made Sheng Mei's heart ache.
10 Billion years ago, the Asura Road Master could not bear to see his mother disappear into nothingness. Thus, he had protected the soul of his mother's remnant inside the Cold Ice Mirror…
But this also means that his mother has survived 10 billion years of loneliness here. Of course, there might be some people accompanying him.
Sheng Mei had feelings in her heart. He turned around and saw that a thousand feet away, on top of the glacier, a woman dressed in blue wearing a veil stood silently.
A cold wind swayed around him and his black hair danced in the wind. The feeling he gave off was like an ice lotus blooming on top of a snowy mountain, untainted by human hands.
Although this woman was wearing a veil, Sheng Mei could directly confirm something – this ... was her in the past.
It was like looking in the mirror, both of them reflecting each other.
Sheng Mei was not sure what to say. His mind was left in chaos.
Actually, Sheng Mei is a complete ‘diri’ born from her tenth life. But, for some unknown reason, he had been cut off from his first nine lives. There were many puzzles in his mind as well as many doubts.
If possible, Sheng Mei did not want to bother with these things. What he wanted the most was to break away from the chaos of the world with Lin Ming, bringing Jiu’er with them. Although they could not experience a life of eternal happiness, it would still be a long, happy, and simple life.
However, for her past life, Sheng Mei actually did not want to reunite with her previous personality. He just wanted to remain his pure self.
Yet…
There are many things in life that cannot be just because he expects it.
Destiny is like a big wheel. Whether someone is ready for it or not, whether someone can hold it or not, it will still roll in your direction.
Just like this time…
As Sheng Mei was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest. His face immediately paled.
Cold sweat started to fall from his forehead. His unexplained heartbeat made him feel anxious.
It was at this time that Sheng Mei's mother discovered something strange happening to Sheng Mei. He asked worriedly, “My son, what's up? Are you hurt?”
Sheng Mei panted, a hand pressed against her chest. “I... I don't know.. suddenly feel anxious, as if I can't breathe..”.
This feeling came suddenly and could not be explained. It left a dark cloud hovering above Sheng Mei's heart.
………….
At this moment, across the unknown layers of time and space, in the vast chaos, there was a sea that stretched outward for miles and miles.
Because there was a sea in the starry sky was simply unimaginable. And this sea was dirty and yellow, with countless bones floating within it.
Vaguely, one could hear the bitter cries of souls in the sea breeze, the lamentation of pain that made one feel fear and fear.
At an unknown time, above the originally calm sea level, a storm suddenly appeared. The storm grew bigger and bigger and the sea water was like two waterfalls rising into the air. Countless skeletons were destroyed by the turbulent waves of the sea.
And in this raging sea, a young man appeared, stepping through the void as he emerged from the seawater. He had long hair as white as snow and a paper-white face.
He slowly climbed upwards until he flew 100,000 feet into the air. Then, he looked at the sea in the starry sky and casually waved his hand.
The vast and boundless sea began to shrink rapidly. From millions of miles, to hundreds of thousands of miles, to thousands of miles, to hundreds of miles, to a few feet, to a few inches, and finally shrinking into a drop of water.
This drop of water flew into the pupils of the white-haired young man's eyes, drenching him like a single tear.
However, after this young man's eyes were moistened with this drop of water, he still remained as old and dirty as before, emitting death energy that only corpses possessed.
The huge sea that contained endless bones had turned into a drop of water and then fused into the eyes of the youth. Anyone who saw this would feel their scalp tingling in fear.
The young man was deep in thought. He looked at the distant starry sky, a happy expression on his face. But, this happy smile caused one to feel an inexplicable fear.
“I never thought that there would be some people who impatiently want to meet with me ..”
The young man spoke out loud. He stepped into the void, as if there was an invisible staircase that only he could see. Like this, his figure sank into the void, sinking in silence and leaving only light spatial ripples.
